Detailed Description

See also
Class NURBSCurve, Class NURBSIndependentPoint.

Description:
This class defines a curve that uses points to describe its shape. All the points lie on the curve itself. There are methods to get/set the number of points in the curve, get/set the points themselves, refine the curve (add points without changing its shape), and to get/set the transformation matrix used by the curve. This matrix is used to set the postion of the curve in the NURBSSet.

All methods of this class are implemented by the system.
Data Members:
protected:

NURBSIndependentPoint *mpPts;

Array of independent points.

BOOL mClosed;

TRUE if the curve is closed; otherwise FALSE.

int mNumPts;

The number of independent points.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ NURBSPointCurve()

Remarks
Constructor. The data members are initialized as follows:

mType = kNPointCurve;

mClosed = FALSE;

mpPts = NULL;

◆ ~NURBSPointCurve()

virtual DllExport ~NURBSPointCurve ( void  )
virtual
Remarks
Destructor. If any points were allocated they are freed and the cache is cleared.

Member Function Documentation

◆ operator=()

DllExport NURBSPointCurve& operator= ( const NURBSPointCurve curve)
Remarks
Assignment operator.
Parameters:
const NURBSPointCurve& curve

The curve to assign.

◆ Close()

DllExport void Close ( void  )
Remarks
Closes the point curve.

◆ IsClosed()

DllExport BOOL IsClosed ( void  )
Remarks
Returns TRUE if the curve is closed; otherwise FALSE.

◆ SetNumPts()

DllExport void SetNumPts ( int  num)
Remarks
Sets the number of points in the point curve. Note that any previous point data is not maintained when the new number is set.
Parameters:
int num

The number of points in the curve.

◆ GetNumPts() [1/2]

DllExport int GetNumPts ( void  )
Remarks
Returns the number of points in the curve.

◆ GetNumPts() [2/2]

DllExport void GetNumPts ( int num)
Remarks
Retrieves the number of points in the curve.
Parameters:
int &num

The result is stored here.

◆ GetPoint()

DllExport NURBSIndependentPoint* GetPoint ( int  index)
Remarks
Returns a pointer to the specified point.
Parameters:
int index

The zero based index of the point to get.

◆ SetPoint()

DllExport void SetPoint ( int  index,
NURBSIndependentPoint pt 
)
Remarks
Sets the specified point in the curve.
Parameters:
int index

The zero based index of the point to set.

NURBSIndependentPoint &pt

The point to set.

◆ SetTransformMatrix()

DllExport void SetTransformMatrix ( TimeValue  t,
SetXFormPacket xPack 
)
Remarks
Sets the transformation matrix for the NURBSPointCurve. This controls the relative position of the item within a NURBSSet.
Parameters:
TimeValue t

The time at which to set the matrix.

SetXFormPacket& xPack

An instance of the XFormPacket class that describes the properties of the transformation. See Class SetXFormPacket.

◆ GetTransformMatrix()

DllExport Matrix3 GetTransformMatrix ( TimeValue  t)
Remarks
Returns the transformation matrix that controls the relative position of the point curve in the NURBSSet.
Parameters:
TimeValue t

The time at which to return the matrix.

◆ Refine()

DllExport void Refine ( TimeValue  t,
double  u 
)
Remarks
This method adds a new point at the specified location on the curve without changing its shape. The point is specified as a distance in U parameter space. Note that calling this method causes all animation of the curve to be removed.
Parameters:
TimeValue t

The time at which to refine the curve. The curve may be animated, and thus the underlying parameter space may be changing. So when the u value is specified it must relate to the curve at a specific time.

double u

The point at which to refine the curve. Developers should use the method NURBSCurve::GetParameterRange() to get the valid range of values that may be passed here.
